A Florida teacher has been "removed from the classroom" after it was discovered she had a double life hosting a white nationalist podcast.

By day, Dayanna Volitich taught social studies at Crystal River Middle School in Florida. By night, the 25-year-old took on the pseudonym Tiana Dalichov and presented a podcast voicing white nationalist rhetoric.

In an episode from the Unapologetic podcast - which at the time of writing is accessible online - a guest calls for white supremacist teachers in schools and Ms Volitich as Tiana Dalichov replies: "I'm absolutely one of them."

In an episode called Growth of Islam from her podcast, Ms Volitich - under the Tiana Dalichov pseudonym - calls it "scary" that "your political opinions all of a sudden have so much influence over your job", adding: "If you say something against Islam, and someone gets offended by what you have said, your job is literally on the line and oftentimes you will lose it."

Ms Volitich appeared to be concerned that she was correct with this assertion, as she attempted to delete all evidence of Tiana Dalichov online, including removing her Twitter account and the podcast's website.

A popular comment on Reddit, read: "Institutes of education are no place for this slavery-era rhetoric and I hope she is quickly removed from employment," and the poster called for other Reddit users to "create change" by contacting the school.

Other users reacted with anger as they called for Ms Volitich to be sacked, including one user whose post was liked over a thousand times.
